Air connection for Citroën Peugeot 2.0 and 2.2 HDI 0382LA exchanger

Description

Turbo air hose for CITROEN PEUGEOT 2.0 HDI and 2.2 HDI engines
Suitable for citroen C5, C5 X7 or PEUGEOT 407

cars

Part description

This air connection at the exchanger (hose/turbo intake connection) is used to conduct compressed air in the turbocharger system. It is designed for Citroën/Peugeot cars with 2.0 HDI and 2.2 HDI engines and is commonly searched for under the number 0382LA.

If you are dealing with a pressure leak, poor draft or oil maps around the joint, the hose/connection at the exchanger is a frequent leak point. A used original part is a practical choice for a quick repair without unnecessary tuning of universal replacements.

Installation recommendations

Generally/typically for intake and turbo hoses the exact procedure may vary depending on the specific design and installation in the car.

1) Before assembly

• Compare the new part with the old part: shape, end diameters, length, type of mating surfaces/joints.
• Check for cracks, squeezed edges, deformations or damaged mating parts.
• Inspect the counter parts (pipe/exchanger connections): whether they are clogged or mechanically damaged.

2) Necessary tools and materials

• Common hand tools (ratchet/extension, screwdrivers depending on the design of the joints)
• Clip pliers (if elastic clips are used)
• Cleaning agent and rags for cleaning contact surfaces
• New clips/fasteners if the original ones are weakened or corroded

3) Step-by-step assembly procedure

1. Allow the engine to cool and secure the vehicle against movement.
2. Make the installation site accessible (remove covers that are in the way if necessary).
3. Mark the position of the hose and line so that it is properly seated without tension after assembly.
4. Undo the clips/fixtures at both ends and carefully remove the old part.
5. Clean the mating surfaces and check that there are no dirt on them that would prevent tightness.
6. Place the connection/hose first on the first end in the correct stop position.
7. Place the other end and check that the hose is not twisted and not rubbing against the surrounding parts anywhere.
8. Tighten/fit the clips evenly so that the joint holds firmly and is properly clamped all around.
9. Check that the wiring is stable and does not come into contact with hot or moving parts anywhere.
10. Return the removed covers and visually check the entire intake/turbo route around the impact.

• 4) Post-assembly checks and test drive/function verification

  • After starting, check that there is no air escaping from the joint area (hissing) and that the joint does not “let” when you add gas.
  • Do a short test drive and then visually check again that the joint holds and there are no signs of leakage.

  5) The most common assembly mistakes + how to avoid them

  • Bad seating on the stop → always check the stop position and even seating around the perimeter.
  • Using tired clips → if the clip does not hold tension, replace it or the leak will return.
  • Twisting or straining the hose → leads to cracking and loosening of joints; align the guide before tightening.
  • Dirty on the contact surface → even a small deposit can cause a leak; clean the surfaces before assembly.

  Reasons why the part is damaged

  • Aging of the material due to heat from the engine compartment and microcracks that develop over time.
  • Overpressure surges and long-term stress in the turbocharger system.
  • Leaky or inappropriate clips – the hose can “move”, rub and gradually crack.
  • Contact with surrounding parts (abrasion) due to poor guidance or lack of attachment.
  • Oil contamination in the intake, which can gradually deteriorate the properties of the material and the tightness of the joints.
